“Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? with: or, within”
Job 41:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 41:13
"Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?" Leviathan's outer covering (pney levusho, פְּנֵי לְבוּשׁוֹ, "face of his garment"—likely scales or hide) cannot be stripped. Double bridle (resen kephel, רֶסֶן כֶּפֶל) suggests futility of controlling it like a horse. Every attempt at mastery fails. This teaches that God designed certain creatures and forces to remain beyond human dominion, preserving His exclusive sovereignty. Accepting such limits is wisdom, not defeat.
